I feel like I lost my iPod, or someone stole it. I don't want to reset the iPod from my computer, there is some important stuff on there that is personal. But, my mom insists it is in the house. Can apple help located it in any way?

I know that you can't track an iPod if the battery is dead, I already tried. The attempt was futile. And I am losing my laptop in 3 days, I need to find it before then. Someone, please help. And don't just say no, cause that is stupid. But please, someone has to help me. I've pretty much given up hope. I've looked practically everywhere for it.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number

My ipod reset the menu can anyone help me

i went to a friends house and before i went my ipod battery waz very low and wen i waz out my dad charged it for me (so wen i got back it would be fully charged and i could use it)but wen i got back i turned my ipod on and all the settings had been reset..???? all of my songs were still there but the menu waz completly reset i think its just because the battery ran flat before he charged it therefore causing it to reset the menu but i waz wondering if theres any other cause and if it damaged the ipod and is it a problem..??? can anyone help me with this
thanx

so does updating it improve its battery life or
restoring it because im getting rubish battery time
from my nano!
I assume you know that the backlight kills your battery and that the quoted battery life is for operation under perfect conditions. I just posted this in another thread and I'm reposting it here for you....
Specially about the battery, it lasts very little of
I expected. (About 4-6 hours, ligh off, equalizer
rock, moderate volume).
Is it actually running out, or are you going by the meter? The vast majority of people who have this problem aren't actually running out of power. They only think they are. The meter is very inaccurate. After my iPod reaches zero, my iPod continues to work for five hours or more.
If you want the meter to be more accurate, let the iPod run down completely, but don't do this too often. Just once in a blue moon. This will calibrate the meter but has nothing to do with the battery itself.
The "life-use" of Li-ion batteries is to little too
(about 500 cycle-charges)
If you don't like Li-ion, the bad new for you is that Li-ion batteries are now used in all products by all manufacturers. ALL rechargeable batteries, no matter what type they are have a limited number of charge cycles - your phone, your laptop, everything. The only difference with Apple is that they're telling you this up front.
Do you know or somebodys knows some way to extend
battery charge?
No, but if you follow the advice above, hopefully this won't be an issue.

How do I add music to my ipod from new computer and not loose old stuff from old computer?

Have a new computer and would like to add more music to my ipod. It won't let me keep my old music and add new music. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks for the info...sounds like it might work. So just to clarify because I am NOT a computer whiz...by changing the setting it will keep my old downloads on my ipod and now I can download new music with my new computer and add them to my ipod. My old stuff will not be lost. When I was on my new computer there was a button that said, "On this ipod"...I could see all of my old music, but wasn't able to make new playlists or manage them in any way. Will I be able to manage them? Or will they be "frozen" so to speak?
Also, where do I look for this setting?
Thanks so much for your time!

Want to reset the Imac - Can't Login using Leopard

I just got a brand new 24" Imac and upgraded it to Leopard following a transfer of all the files from my old imac. Then all problems started as I could not login as it does not recognise any password incl the admin one. I tried everything mentioned in the forums and decided to give up as I have all the info back-ed up.
someone knows what I need to do to reset/re-install all software again as nothing would have happened and start all over again with the Imac.
Thanks

thanks

Lost password on IPad one and I don't want to reset

Hi everyone,
I lost my old IPad password 4 digit. I don't want to reset/restore, as I have tons of photos on it. Is there a way to reset the password, can Apple do it?
Thanks,
Jean

The computer I used to synch on is long gone. That's the thing with theses IPads they're easy to store...
Well the lesson is mine. I just have 9999 combination to try out every 30min,
Thanks,
Jean

We are starting from the beginning like its a new ipod starts out asking language, country,location services,choose a network,and when we get to "setup ipod touch " there are 3 options 1..setup as new ipod, 2.restore from ipod backup 3 restore from itunes backup and when we hit setup as new ipod and click next it comes up with sign in with apple id or create a free apple id we clicked create a free apple id....then comes up with bday,1st name last name, use your current email address, get a free icloud email address or change email address and THIS is where we have problems....if we hit change email address it means that sis's stuff goes under his name and moves all her stuff to this older ipod which the brother does not want. sorry this is so long but its the only way I knew to do it.

Police don't "track down" lost items, per se. They'll keep your information on file in the event that someone finds your iPod and turns it in. Otherwise, there's nothing the police can or will do in regards to finding lost property.
Sorry, but your iPod is most likely gone for good.
Regards.

My ipods screan is black and it wont turn on but it still makes a noise when i plug it in to the charger. can anyone help?

my ipod isnt turning on but it still makes a noise when i plug it into the charger can anyone help me?

Hey there cameronw99,
It sounds like you are unable to see your iPod Touch screen, as it stays black but it makes the connection tone when you plug in the USB cable. Use these steps to resolve the issue with the iPod from the following article:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
chttp://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

My iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by iTunes. I did update, but still, it won't work. I don't want to uninstall the iTunes cos I don't want to lose my music and audio books. What to do? It started after I updated iTunes.

iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes

Some songs in my Ipod classic get get off after a few seconds of playing, but they work fine in ITunes and other Ipods. I have reset the classic several times and same issue happens, any ideas?

I have that exact same problem! It plays albums fine. But individual songs including ones downloaded from iTunes either skip or play the music of another totally different song. All play fine on iTunes and my iPhone... Got this one to replace my dying 5th gen classic.
I hope there is a fix for this, cause it *****!!!!

Ive purchased a black coloured iphone 5s but i dont like the colour, can apple replace my current phone with a white one?j

If you purchased your iPhone from Apple within the last 14 days then you can return it to switch it for another color if you wish.
If you purchased it through your carrier, then you will need to look at their returns policy, but I expect it would be similar.
